Performance Evaluation of Channel Modeling and Path Loss Measurements for Wireless Communication Systems in Urban and Rural Territories

Abstract

Many factors can produce route loss, including free space loss, diffraction, reflection, and absorption. Due to variances in the structures of cities, local topographical profiles, and weather, prediction of route loss may change from every model of propagation. This study shows observed and simulated route loss values in common urban and rural settings at the frequency of operation 2.1525 GHz. The findings of this study revealed that in metropolitan environments, higher distances had an impact on path loss estimation. After 18 meters from the measurement survey, 23 dB loss was found at the start of the measurement in an urban area. The goal of simulations and measurements is to estimate the mean signal intensity at a receiver situated at a certain distance from the transmitter, as well as the signal strength variability in a particular environment. As a result of this work, the obtained results will be beneficial for the planning and installation of any base station similar to the environments of thoughtful locations in order to make available instructions for wireless communication system cell planning, because route loss is an important consideration in the design of any radio communications system.
